If the surface is prepped right, it should. By prepped right I mean a good scuffing up with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper and a thorough wipedown with acetone to remove any dirt and sanding residue. Prep is the key, any of the do-it-yourself bedliners should get the job done.
Hey Kookaneeking, nice to see someone from around here on the forum, <br /><br />Last year at the Seattle boat show LineX had a booth setup and there brochures have pics of the inside of boats, just like you are talking about. I been thinking about trying a roll on beliner like your talking about<br /><br />Where you fish at anyway?
I fish the sound, kokanee lakes, and amy water that holds bass. I used a somokercraft alluminum for salt water and kinda miss the easy care of the thing. I had to sell and later bought this project of mine. wood can be a pain.
http://www.nonslipcoating.com <br /><br />That's Durabak's website, and that's what I am going with.<br /><br />I am doing the interior of my 19ft Blue Wave Center Console Bay boat.<br /><br />If you can wait about 7-10days, I will show you pics and give an initial opinion on it once I get it applied.<br /><br />I am waiting for it to arrive, and in the meantime prepping my boat.<br /><br />Take care<br />shawn
Amen to the projects, I got about 50 things to do on the boat and so little time (March already?). I wanna see how your coating turns out, I just put in a casting deck on my boat and need somthing to cover it in. Let us know on the pics.<br /><br />Kokaneeking: Where is a nice spot around the sound to get into some Bass ? I been hitting lake Sawyer with some success, but I don't know anywhere else to go
Wow, Durabak looks like the ideal no-maintenence product for deck paint. I'll be interested to see how ShawnQ's deck comes out and how hard it was to apply.
I actually would like to get ahold of some Durabak to apply to the rocker panel areas of my truck, the paint is getting chipped up (it is a new paint job). I want to get white to blend with the paint, but I do not need a gallon of it. I saw on their site that they only sold it in gallons, but does anyone know if it is available in smaller amounts, or if there is a similar product that I can get in white that will do the trick?
Has anyone tried to use the roll-on bedliner material as a keelguard on a fiberglass boat? What they sell here comes in a can and is applied with a small paint roller once the surface is prepped. (sanding and cleaning with acetone). Thanks
Cereal Dude,<br /><br />Is there an advantage to using products like Durabak versus the roll on bedliner? I fish on the sound a lot in my boat and the last thing I want to do is take a spill (or a swim) when it's choppy. What do you think is ideal, carpet, pergo, etc.?
Glass, I used Evercoat No Skid on my boat. Great traction, holds up well, you can get it in different colors, easy to apply, about $40 a gallon. It is intended for marine use, specifically floors and what-not.
Is the Durabak bedliner a good anti skid paint that will hide minor imperfections?<br /><br />In other words, does it leave a consistant coat? <br /><br />JasonJ- does the evercote hide imperfections well? Does it leave a nice consistant "pattern" if you will?<br /><br />Thanks for the replys.
The evercoat goes on in at least two coats. The first coat sort of hides imperfections, but the second coat really fills things in and hides everything. I actually applied mine in a pattern using a brush, it pretty much stays as you apply it, so it doesn't really even out. You could try applying with a roller, but the brush works better in my opinion. I am sure a person could make it look even if they wanted to, but I wanted a pattern.
Well the evercoat doesn't sound like a bad deal for the price, I thought it was much more. The roll on bed liner stuff is like $25 bucks a can anyway, for a few bucks more why not go to evercoat. Thanks for all the replys, one more question though.<br /><br />Do you think one gallon would be enough to do the floor and sides on a 15 foot bow rider, or is more needed?
